[AT] ATIS at Portland, now 'wireless'

[Paul Waugh]

The only place I know to get this service is through a 'cell' company. Mine 
calls it an 'aircard'. I have thought about getting this because of the 
traveling, but to me it is expensive ($60 mo. unlimited). I have talked to 
several people that use them.  Just like a cell phone they are 'selective' 
on when they work. Depending on the signal, it controls the download rate. 
As I understand, under ideal condition (like right under a tower) they have 
a respectable speed.  My experience has been, wireless is 'slow' compare to 
hard wired, and not near as reliable.
